"The local processing engine is disabled." When Executing Job

When running any EP job (processing, additional analysis, production, export, etc.) in a distributed processing environment, you receive the error "The local processing engine is disabled. This job cannot be processed without the local processing engine." The JobError.job also says "RequireLocalProcessing is True, and LocalProcessingEngineAvailable is False."

Resolution

In FTK, go to Evidence > Add/Remove

Make sure the paths for all pieces of evidence are UNC paths and NOT local paths. Update path with UNC path if any are currently local.
